Tomintoul Distillery is located inside the picturesque Glenlivet estate, within the whisky producing region of Speyside. The distillery is named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland.
The two Whisky retail companies W. & S. Strong & Co. and Hay & HacLeod & Co from Glasgow established Tomintoul Distillery Ltd. in 1964, and in July 1965 the Tomintoul Distillery was founded. The company only ran the distillery for less than a decade and sold it to Scottish & Universal Investment Trust in 1973. Beside Tomintoul, the trust also purchased the Fettercairn Distillery and the blending company Whyte & Mackay, who took over administration of the two distilleries. Whyte & Mackay renovated the distillery and added a second pair of pot stills. Whyte & Mackay were also responsible for the first Single Malt bottling, a 12-year-old Tomintoul, during that period.

Vol- 70cl
“Old Ballantruan” Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky is only one of a handful of peated malt whiskies from the Speyside region. After ‘sleeping’ for 10 years in hand-picked oak barrels, this whisky has been bottled at 50% volume and without any chill-filtration to retain its layered and integrated peaty flavours.
Nose: Gentle waft of “peat reek”, smoked campfires and subtle citrus fruit notes
Taste: A mellow, dry peat with hints of lemon cheesecake, cocoa and shortbread
Finish: Lingering smoke and peat with a light pepper kick
